At what point does resistance become terrorism?

There was a lot of topics I wanted to write about today but in the end, I feel I really need to come back around to NATO military occupations around the world. They've found another supposed Al-Qaeda "treasure trove" of information, failed attacks, evil plans, etc. It reads like a hollywood script and the timing with this Bin Laden anniversary is probably coincidential.

Of course it's drumming up the imminent terrorist attack fear. Crap like this gets published.

In public, U.S. officials say there is no credible information of an impending attack. Department of Homeland Security spokesman Peter Boogaard released a statement Monday evening saying, "We have no indication of any specific, credible threats or plots against the U.S. tied to the one-year anniversary of bin Laden's death." But earlier Monday, White House counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan called the al Qaeda group in Yemen the greatest threat to the U.S. "AQAP continues to be al Qaeda's most active affiliate, and it continues to seek the opportunity to strike our homeland," said Brennan during a speech at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, D.C.

Merely being a member of Al Qaeda or one of its allies is not enough to be targeted, Mr. Brennan said, because that describes many thousands of people. Rather, policymakers approve the killing of only those who pose a particular threat, he said, like operational leaders who are planning attacks against United States interests, lower-level militants training for such an attack, and those who possess “unique operational skills that are being leveraged in a planned attack.”

Mr. Brennan also said the administration preferred capturing such suspects alive — usually by telling a foreign government where to arrest them — and would authorize a strike only if that was not feasible.

Are you not sick of the lies yet? Pakistan is fucking pissed! The world is getting sick of NATO's imperialist shit whether our media is telling you about it or not. NATO government's lie about the "war", they lie about the debt squandered on it, they lie lie lie. It's all they fucking do! hoping your head is in the ocean with Bin Laden.
